arminsergiony | 3 years ago | on: Parse, don't validate (2019)

I believe that JSON Schema is a great solution because it is a standardized format and provides helpful error messages for validation issues. If the schema file is well-defined, it should be safe to map the JSON data to a static type DTO and trust that the data types are valid. JSON Schema's ability to validate strings, numbers, integers, and custom objects makes it a powerful tool, and I personally wouldn't want to attempt to implement something similar on my own.

What kind of information are we, as energy layman, supposed to glean from this? How can one present data in a way that conveys actual significance to the audience? All of this information, yet I still don't feel any wiser.

arminsergiony | 3 years ago | on: Finishing what you start makes teams more productive and predictable

I would like for more people to read this. leaders and developers. The most challenging aspect of software development is finishing. In contrast, it's incredibly simple to open new projects, features, and issues. Opening numerous tracks simultaneously causes the entire team to work at a crawl, and the traditional solution is to simply put in extra hours or take short cuts, which increases tech debt over time. Battle fire with fire.

The article only supports one theory, which is that food costs are going up. However, I don't think the article looks at the other side of balancing the books: it could just be that fewer people are going to restaurants, even before prices go up.

I'm not sure that science as a whole is less useful than it was in 1900, but I'm sure that the average scientist today isn't as useful as Max Planck (but of course he was above average in his own day as well).

The benefit of an agency for most companies is that they don't have to keep hiring new freelancers or contractors every few months. They are outsourcing all of that, and the associated overhead, to the agency. Training and managing a team of specialists is not trivial, especially if they are far removed from the focus of the company so nobody really knows how to go about hiring or managing said specialists.

Hemp was campaigned against by "big paper" because it might do what? Big paper would switch to hemp if it was better, so why wouldn't they? Like farmers, they grow trees like they grow corn, but they might easily convert to growing hemp instead.

If I were Apple, I'd sell an open developer phone that allowed users to override the default settings. So that when the inevitable "Apple has been hacked and is no better than Android" media driven hit pieces come out, Apple can point out that this is happening on the open developer phone, not the safe walled garden that most of us normal, non bleeding edge consumers carry in our pockets..

When you just want to use your phone, you don't have to read a 1000-word piece to figure out it's because some man installed some obvious spyware.
